My wife and I will be hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire today...awesome fall colors right now! We'll be home in time to hopefully watch the game on Pluto TV since it starts at 8 pm EST.

Anyone have any insight into our injury situation? It seems like we have been missing a few key players for several games recently.

We need a W in every game from here on out. I hope that starts tonight. Go Ags!

We've always been known for QB's and now we're becoming a TE factory as well.

I agree as well that the coaching is the biggest difference this year at Sac State. They're always had a lot of speed and athletic ability but they have often been unfocused and undisciplined. The talent is there again but with discipline as well.

They're recruiting pool is much larger than us and Poly since they have much lower academic admission requirements. I've always felt that Sac is a program that could really take off if they could just get good coaching and create an culture of discipline and pride. That might just be happening.

The writing is on the wall; we need quality wins and, likely, need to win out to make the playoffs.

Most Significant Win: Sac State Hornets

I'm assuming that the drop in the Coaches Poll is due to the fact that North Dakota got blown out at Idaho State 55-20 a week after beating the Ags by 2 and also by nearly giving up a huge lead to Poly. We won the Poly game by 24 but, honestly, it did not feel that convincing to me. The upside is that we still have a lot of room for improvement and we showed we can be very explosive.

No doubt about it...if Poly scores and has the momentum at that point..we may have had a different outcome. That INT by Eaton was the pivotal play of the game...

Eaton just saved Hawkins from a really poor call to go for it on 4th and 2 on our own 32 yard line and turning the ball over on downs. I don't mind aggressive play calling but that was not smart at all.

Aggies are melting down...it's hard to have much confidence in this team...

And now the Aggie offense has gone flat and the defense is giving up big plays...

A lot of game left, SloStang. The Mustang offense is starting to chew up some yards.

These announcers are lame...

Most of the students probably didn't come back after the Montana blow out.

Ooof...the stadium looks empty on Pluto TV...

How is the crowd size for the game?

Sac just stopped MSU on 4 tries from the 4 yard line. They're definitely a Big Sky Champion contender.

Sac is the real deal. It's remarkable how their new coach has turned this program into a playoff contender in his first year. Wow...
